15、 the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. It was a very dark street. I was on my way home 21 a friends party and decided to take a short cut. I just turned the corner from the main street and started walking towards the light at the end of the short street. Suddenly, almost by magic

16、, I thought, there was someone standing at the far end, under the lamplight. Most people 22 have been frightened, perhaps terrified, but I wasnt at all frightened. Perhaps I should have been. There was someone there. I felt somehow that the personand I couldnt see 23 it was a man or a womandid not m

17、ean to harm me. 24 I wasnt frightened, I still wasnt sure what to do. Should I walk on towards the end of the street and towards the light and towards the person? Or should I go back the way I had come? I decided to walk on towards the light.The “guide”, as I called the person later, stood and waite

18、d 25 I was halfway down the street, and then started walking ahead of me. Even now I couldnt describe him or her: he or she seemed 26 (dress) in a long gown, but there was a dim light all around him or her. Certainly I felt safe and followed the person down several streets that I did not know. It wa

19、s a part of town, I realized, that I 27 (warn) about, but nothing happened to me, and as soon as we were near the bright lights of the main road, my “guide” just 28 (disappear).The following day I heard that a young person had been killed 29 (walk) home alone not very far from 30 I was that night. I

20、 dont care what other people think. I am sure that the “guide” was my guardian angel and that he or she looked after me. Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. weakenB. ensur

21、eC. considerablyD. benefitsE. independentlyF. apply G. aggressiveH. conflictsI. potentialJ. subjectsK. proposed Obstacles can be overcome, say trade experts The main problem in the EU-UK talks on a trade deal is resolvable so long as neither side treats the matter as a question of high principle, ac

22、cording to trade experts. German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned on Wednesday that a trade deal must 31 a “level playing field, not only for today, but also for tomorrow ”. But British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Wednesday evening that Britain would never sign up to automatically having to

23、32 future EU rules in areas such as environmental regulations and labour standards in order to keep the 33 of a trade deal. Nonetheless, experts said there was the 34 for negotiation between Britains position, a willingness to swear not to 35 regulatory standards as they stand at the end of its Brex

24、it (British exit) transition period, and the EUs quest to ensure that these trade deals work well for ever. The “landing zone” for any deal would likely ensure that the UK was not able to weaken the effectiveness of European regulations and keep the advantages of zero tariffs (关税) in goods: the main

25、 feature of the 36 free trade agreement. David Henig, UK director of the European Centre For International Political Economy, said what was needed to be agreed were specific 37 that the trade deal covered and the process for dealing with possible 38 . The only reason that this should spoil the trade

26、 deal talks, said Mr. Henig, was if one or both sides keep their positions on a matter of principle. Since the start of the talks, the EUs concern has been to avoid having a(n) 39 competitor close to its single market, seizing an advantage through lax (宽松的) environmental regulations and labour stand

27、ards. The EU has already moved 40 on state aid. Brussels entered the negotiations saying the UK should continue to in effect operate the state aid system under the supervision of the European Court of Justice. It has since agreed to an approach based upon agreeing common principles with Britain. III

28、. Reading ComprehensionSection A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Did Tea and Beer Bring About Industrialization? Professor Macfarlane has spent decades try

29、ing to understand the mystery of the Industrial Revolution. Why did it happen in Britain at the end of the 18th century?Macfarlane compares the question as a puzzle. He 41 that there were about 20 different factors and all of them needed to be present before the revolution could happen. The chief 42

30、 can be found in history textbooks. For industry to 43 , there needed to be the technology and power to drive factories, large urban populations to provide cheap labor, a 44 economy, and a political system that allowed this to happen. All these factors must have been necessary but not sufficient to

31、cause the revolution. Most historians, however, are 45 that one or two missing factors are needed to solve the puzzle. The missing factors, Macfarlane supposes, are tea and beer.Historians had noticed one interesting factor around the mid-18th century that required the 46 . Between 1650 and 1740, th

32、e population in Britain didnt increase, but then it grew rapidly. The population burst seemed to happen at the right time to provide labor for the Industrial Revolution. But why? When it started, it was 47 efficient to have people living close together. People got diseases, particularly from human w

33、aste. Some historical records 48 that there was a change in the incidence (发病率）of waterborne disease at that time. Macfarlane thought whatever the British were drinking must have been important in 49 disease. The English drank beer for a long time, and they were protected by the strong antibacterial

34、 agent in hops (啤酒花), which were added to make beer. But in the late 17th century a tax was 50 on malt, a basic ingredient of beer. The poor turned to water and gin, and in the 1720s the death rate began to rise again. Then it suddenly dropped. What caused this?Macfarlane looked to Japan, which was

35、also developing large cities at the same time. Waterborne diseases were far fewer in Japan than in Britain. Could it be the 51 of tea in their culture? Macfarlane then noticed the history of tea in Britain provided an extraordinary 52 of dates. Tea was relatively expensive until Britain started dire

36、ct trade with China in the early 18th century. By the 1740s, about the time the infant death rate was falling, and the drink was common. Macfarlane 53 the fact that water had to be boiled, together with the stomach-purifying properties of tea so clearly 54 in books, meant the breast milk provided by

37、 mothers was healthier than it had ever been. No other European nation drank tea so often as the British, which, by Macfarlanes 55 , pushed other nations out of the race for the Industrial Revolution. 41.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B,

41、C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just readA The Art of HealingIf no further evidence available of the sophistication of China in the Tang Dynasty, then a look at Chinese medicine would be sufficient. At the western end of the Eurasian

42、continent, the Roman empire disappeared, and there was nowhere new to claim the important position of the cultural and political centre of the world. In fact, for a few centuries, the centre happened to be the capital of the Tang Empire, which boasted its national health service, and Chinese medicin

43、e under the Tang was far ahead of European medicine. The organizational context of health and healing was structured to a degree that had never happened in China before and found a similar one nowhere else.An Imperial Medical Office had been inherited from previous dynasties: it was immediately rest

44、ructured and staffed with directors, chief and assistant medical directors, pharmacists and managers of medicinal herb gardens. Within the first two decades after enforcing its rule, the Tang administration set up one central and several provincial medical colleges to train students in one or all of

45、 the departments of medicine, acupuncture (针灸) and physical therapy. Physicians were given positions in governmental medical service only after passing qualifying exams. They were paid according to the number of cures they had effected during the past year. In 723, Emperor Xuanzong personally compos

46、ed a formulary of prescriptions（方剂集）recommended to him by an imperial pharmacist and sent it to all the provincial medical schools. An Arabic traveller, who visited China in 851, noted with surprise that prescriptions from the emperors formulary were posted on notice boards at crossroads to enhance

47、the welfare of the population.The government protected people from potentially harmful medical practice. The Tang legal code was the first in China to include laws concerned with harmful medical practice. For example, to treat patients for money without following standard procedures was defined as d

48、eceiving combined with theft and had to be tried as theft. If such therapies resulted in death of a patient, the healer was to be sent to a remote place for years. In case a physician purposely failed to practice according to the standards, he was to be tried as murdering. Even if no harm resulted,

49、he was to be punished. 56. In the 1st paragraph, the writer draws particular attention to _. A. the lack of medical knowledge in China prior to the Tang Dynasty B. the Western interest in Chinese medicine during the Tang Dynasty C. the systematic approach taken to medical issues during the Tang Dyna
